Often, even in this forum, we see debates about circumcision. Obviously everyone has their opinion: many consider the circumcised penis better, others love how nature made us and therefore also the foreskin. Beyond the beliefs of each, almost always, leaving aside the discussion about the legitimacy of neonatal circumcision (which in fact does not interests me now), we go to write about three themes: sex, hygiene and aesthetic appearance. Here, I wanted to summarize them and do a sort of survey. For each of these topics, without considering regardless your status as the best, I ask you to answer the survey if an uncircumcised or circumcised penis is preferable. The answers will obviously be the result of your experiences, ideas, nation of birth, etc.

Since the spaces for the answers in the survey are rather limited, I have only put some references. The full answers (partly the result of some justifications found online), which are very general and perhaps ridiculous or idiotic, can be read below:

1A) Hygiene - Circumcised is better because penis is easier to wash and still remains clean and odor-free for longer;
2B) Hygiene - Uncircumcised is preferable because, aside from the fact that washing it is not so complicated, the glans remains protected and does not dry out;
2A) Aesthetics - Circumcised is better because having the glans always exposed and visible is more beautiful;
2B) Aesthetics - Uncircumcised is preferable because, apart from the fact that there is no scar, with flaccid penis is more beautiful that the glans is covered;
3A) Sex - Circumcised is better because, leaving aside that since there is no skin or frenulum, you can theoretically (easily) thrust deeper, having the glans always exposed it could be less sensitive and bring to orgasm less quickly;
3B) Sex - Uncircumcised is preferable because, given the presence of the foreskin which is sensitive, there is (initially) less friction and is enjoyed more overall;

Take this initiative of mine as an attempt to discuss, for the umpteenth time, the subject of circumcision in a slightly different way than usual...

Uncut he looks better!
Circumcision without medical indication is nonsense, I am glad that I still have my foreskin, it is great to masturbate with it. With the cleanliness I have no problems, because I wash the glans (glans) with retracted foreskin, twice a day and after use (masturbation, sex).
But the Frenulum Praeputii remove (frenulectomy) I can only recommend the benefits are:
1. The foreskin can be pulled further backwards, thus a larger stroke during masturbation is possible and the foreskin is more mobile.
2. The penis looks better, because the foreskin can be pulled back almost without creases.
3. The penis can be kept much better clean.
I completely removed the frenulum myself with three interventions. But every urologist does that too.

I was circumcised at 19 I had sex and have lived with my penis both ways. I live in So California and in my group of friends I was the only dude uncut amongst my friends so I got circumcised to fit in not because of any med issues it was my choice to look like my friends and not be the odd one out. these are my honest answers in my opinion.

hygene: I take a shower every day and would pull back on my foreskin and wash my cock everyday as I was taught growing up. I had no oder no cock cheese no issues. yes I did have a after sex smell the next day after a night of porking someone but who doesn't a morning shower took care of it. hygene is what you make of if you don't wash your pits or your ass they will smell too we all have a funk smell

aesthetics: it is what you like to see cut or uncut what you prefer it depends on how you were cut my scar is next to the head not really noticeable where I have seen scars in the middle of the shaft I think the two toned shaft is not very apealing.to me
how beautiful is a cock with the foreskin intact like it was intended to be there is a purpose to the foreskin protection and looks imho

SEX: I have had sex both ways and prefer uncut sex. the foreskin on the shaft helps with the in and out glide motion of sex I personally had no frenulum issues when I was uncut sex was great with foreskin pulled forward inserting my cock just pushed in and our with no problem going balls deep. sometimes upon insertion my sensitve head felt great inside my partners masterbation was easier just use foreskin to jerk up and down the shaft
circumcised sex there are times I need to bring out the lube for easier insertion vag or anal my head is less sensitve now because it is exposed and rubbing on my boxers all the time.

if I was older and wiser I would not have gotten circumcised and left my penis as it was.

I was circumcised with 18.

The entire debate about "circumcised or not" is laughable. It's not that simple. There are different kinds of foreskin, and there are different kinds of circumcision, resulting in different kinds of penis with different kinds of dynamics. I am of the opinion that there is an optimum in foreskin length, and some may have that naturally, while others need to get there by modification.

I chose circumcision because I didn't want a foreskin to come between my glans and my sex partner during sex. There's nothing like the direct sex one can have with a well-defined penis whose foreskin stays behind the coronal ridge when erect, both on in- and out stroke. I'd know, because I've gone from foreskin sex to no-foreskin sex.

What happens when flaccid is another story.

I like having a foreskin over the glans when I'm not having sex, because it is more comfortable. So I do that, which I can, because I have a typically European circumcision. You may not know the type in North America. Loose, with the cut following exactly the outline of the base of the glans, which makes it look like a retracted foreskin all around.

When I first saw North American or Australian circumcisions, I thought "gee that does look operated on, medically". The whole thing about tight shaft skin and a cut that's halfway up the shaft just seemed excessive to me. I mean, what's the idea anyway, once the glans is exposed, that's the maximum. Pulling clear of the glans just seems too much.

My penis works just like one with a short foreskin. It's not a partial circumcision, but I can pull the skin forward for whatever purposes. It's like a convertible.

Looks like this:

Most of this is going to be personal opinion but;

Hygiene- this one goes to circumcised, but only slightly. To me, it’s the same question as saying something like “toothless people have less cavities.”

sex- uncut all the way for both the person with the penis and for the one who is receiving it.

aesthetics- personally I see so many circumcised penises that look as if they’ve been damaged but there are some cut dicks that are just beautiful as well. As a whole though, there’s nothing like a succulent foreskin hanging from the tip of a nice cock so in 95% or cases I would prefer uncut.

Interesting data is emerging from the survey. As expected, the vast majority of respondents think that a circumcised penis is more hygienic (perhaps especially as it is easier to wash and keep clean): for now we are 81% in favor of circumcision. On the other hand, opinions are opposed regarding sex: for various reasons, 58% are in favor of the uncircumcised penis. As far as the last point of the survey is concerned, being the most subjective since we are talking about aesthetic preferences, there is almost a parity: in any case, the circumcised penis would win slightly with 53% of the votes.

I think everyone's different and their views are obviously influenced by whatever they have, so not a super accurate survey in any case.

By the way, questions 2 and 3 are flipled in your detailed list compared to the survey answers.

But doesn’t uncircumcised mean you have more sensitivity and feeling on your penis? Wouldn’t that make sex and masturbation more pleasurable?

There is no scientific consensus on circumcision decreasing sensitivity or feeling. From personal experience having undergone a non-medical circumcision in my early 20s, I have not noticed much change in sensitivity or feeling. That's not to say there can't be botched surgeries where this is not the case, but on average the foreskin is not a factor as far as ability to feel and enjoy sex is concerned.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. What was it like getting to experience being both circumcised and uncircumcised?

No worries!

Not much changed in terms of sexual intercourse, but I did not have any underlying conditions either. I assume most guys circumcised as adults have it for medical reasons, in which case sex improves for them. Surveys confirm that almost all who experienced both are happier circumcised, mostly because of this.

In terms of solo stuff, I had to relearn a bit how to masturbate, since I can no longer slide my skin up and down. Nothing major, you just learn to use a lighter grip and focus less on the glans. Ultimately it feels as good as it has always felt.

From a practical perspective, it does stay cleaner and hardly smells of anything now. I shower daily, sometimes more often, and my uncircumcised cock would feel moist and have a faint but specific smell anyway withing half an hour of washing. Nothing too bothersome and it was obviously clean - it just feels that bit nicer now.

Other perks: condoms are easier to put on and stay better on during sex (not a major one, but it feels less uncomfortable wearing a codom now) and I prefer the looks - as does my fiancee, so bonus point for me.

Finally! A thread about circumcision!

If you're going to make this stupid poll that has been done hundreds, if not thousands, of times on LPSG then at least make the poll make some sense. Each of the sections should have an option for "it doesn't matter" rather than always assuming that one must be better than the other.

Even better than fixing the poll would be just deleting this thread. Just like what you like, and let others like what they like and keep your nose out of their business.

If you disagree or not interested, no one forces you to read the answers or comment (inappropriately). Search for other topics and write about them. I don't understand why you have to criticize, in an almost arrogant way, if the subject is not to your liking.

Some updates:

2) On the other hand, opinions are opposed regarding sex: for various reasons, 60% are in favor of the uncircumcised penis.

4) Curiosity. The number of people who answered the first two "questions" is exactly the same (while the sample for the third answer is greater). From this it can be seen that a group of participants, while indicating a circumcised penis as the best for hygiene, then stated that the presence of the foreskin is preferible for sex.

As some else posted, there are different types of foreskins and different types of circumcisions.

When I went from long foreskin that needed manual retraction when erect (cover almost all of head otherwise) to semi cut that covered only 3/4 when soft and smooth on shaft when erect, but skin could still move up enough to cover over half of glans on upstroke, it was a huge improvement with no sense of loss. I wanted the bare head when erect. I wanted tip of glans eposed when soft. This was also an era where doctors tended to circumcise boys with long foreskins so those who stayed uncut tendsd to have shorter ones so I tended to fit in more with my shortened penis.

The one disadvantage was the frequent retraction in underwear that caused long erections during day. (Should have let it stay retracted to get used to it, but didn't want to be "circumcised" at the time - buit in hind sight, when comparing with today's uncuts with long foreskins, I was cut, especially when erect).

Mastrbation was much improved because instead of just moving skin up-down with skin so ample it didn't get pulled tight on downstroke, and hand movedment stopped on ypstroke not due to lack of skin but because hand would run out of glans. Once semi cut, I had to pull skin up and stretch it and it moved till it couldn't stretch anymore, and on downstroke, it got tugged down tight at base, both of which produced far more sensation on tome of skin moving on/off part of glans.

Interestingly, as semi cut, I never got smegma. There were times where I went out of my way to not retract in shower to test it, and still didn,t get any. It retracted often enough in underwewar and especially duiring nocturnal erection that the dead skin cells rubbed off before smegma was formed. I did get a bit of musk, not nothing compared to uncut since iurine could never get trapped under a foreskin that can't reach meatus. So there was a huge improbement in hygiene.

Since I considermed mysel "uncut" on many aspect, I never felt I lost sensitivity. But it turns out I really did become circumcised because when I got full circ, I was comfortablle from day 1 and didn't feel any loss after full circ sicne my glans had been "circumcised" during the 25 years I spent semi.

My first full circ wasn't very tight and I continued for a while to wank by moving skin up/down, and it stopped on the rim on the upstroke. I found it inferior to semi cut wankijg. However, once I was able to ditch the instinct to move skin and j/o like a cut guy, I discovered the pleased of direct hand contact on shaft and glans.

I am now cut tight for 2 years. Instnctct to try to move skin when hard completely gone, and it will be soon be one year since I used lube one night (which I did from time to time) not realising it would become my new instinct (I realised by january I hadn't done it dry since some time in december).

I love being circumcised in underwear. As semi cut, I chose underwear to help keep remaining foreksin over head. Now, I enjoy the sensation of bare glans, and choose to keep thsoe sensatiosn in check otherwise it is too big a distraction diuring the day (pleasant, but distracting).

Since getting the tight circumcision, despite losing skin movement, I have found sex much improved, masturbation with lube is amazing (and easier/faster).

In the end, the first full circ was perhaps the least interesting because not tight enough to enjoy the tight skin on shaft, and not loose enough lioke semi cut when skin goes over part of galns on upstroke.

Also, with my currentt tight circ, morning wood when on my back feels amazing and lasts a LONG long time and becomes sexual because of sensation of tight skin. Feells natural, but it's a subtle sensation that makes erection feeel harder.

This was also an era where doctors tended to circumcise boys with long foreskins so those who stayed uncut tendsd to have shorter ones so I tended to fit in more with my shortened penis.

I would not like my answer to be inconsistent with the subject matter, however I prefer to write what I think. From a functional and above all an aesthetic point of view, I believe that the best or optimal penis is the one that has a short foreskin (whether this is natural or it has been obtained surgically). I don't like a penis at all that has a long foreskin. Specifically, therefore, I prefer a penis that when it is flaccid has the glans partially uncovered (the tip, 1/3 or half, it's not important) and entirely uncovered with an erection. I find it very nice when the foreskin retracts spontaneously and gradually during an erection. Unfortunately, excluding the partially circumcised (which are also relatively few), only a minority of men have a penis as described above: if you want to make an estimate, according to probably inaccurate statistics, approximately 15-20% of uncircumcised men have a short foreskin.

An example of what I mean:
